Sinking Ship

I have so much hope for my country. When Obama won the elections we were so jubilant, you would have thought he had won the Nigerian Presidential Elections. But just a day before, a girl was mercilessly beaten by men in a convoy who wanted her to move her car out of the way, and the more I thought about it, the more despair I felt. Can Nigeria really move forward? I thought nothing would be done about it but thankfully many women, men and Civil rights groups are standing up to this brutality, and I have a little ray of hope left. Lets hope that this does not get buried like many other incidents before it.

Everyone must pull together and hopefully stop this kind of thing happening.
